For a while now I have always wanted a tongue piercing but either chose to get pierced else where or was to poor to afford it. But tonight, I finally had the money and nothing else I desperately wanted, tonight was my night. The drive to the studio seemed to take forever, I have been looking forward to this for about a week and half now. Then the sign came into view and I knew it was only a matter of minutes until I had a new piercing to add to my ever growing "collection." I walked into the studio ... read more

So I'll start by saying my name is Kat. I'm sixteen years old and live in Syracuse. And my parents are 100 percent against piercing. Prior to getting my tongue pierced I had only had my ears done, with a gun unfortunately. The first holes when I was about 3 and the seconds when I was 10. After that my parents said I was done. They wouldn't even let me get my cartilage pierced. So I did it myself with no problems. And they didn't find out that for about two months. Since I obviously wouldn't stop there, about a ... read more

So. Being in college in this narrow-minded town permits me to get piercings with a substantial amount of looks. The other day, a woman was so rude...but that's included in my septum story. I was in college, and one of my mates came up to me and said that six of us was getting pierced, did I want to come with. That amount went down to four, then up to eleven, by the way. Sean's piercing studio loved us. Now, since I had 13 piercings at the time, located as: four in my lip (two top, two bottom) my nose ... read more

I'd wanted 2 centre tongue piercings for a while now, I just didn't have the money for them, and I wasn't prepared to go to a cheaper and probably less hygienic place. Finally, I knew when I was going to get the money, and I set a date. I woke up early one miserable Saturday morning, early because I was supposed to meet my friend in town, who was getting her tragus pierced.. However, she couldn't make it, but I had brought someone else along with me, who was thinking about a nostril piercing. I trekked up to the studio ... read more

This is my ongoing experience to get a permanent hole through my tongue. I initially got my tongue pierced as soon as I got out of high school, roughly a year and a half ago. The reason I got it done was because I loved the culture behind BM but I didn't want any sort of piercings or tattoos that would look unprofessional. I still wanted to be able to get jobs at conservative places. I figured that a tongue piercing was (at least somewhat) hidden. I actually cannot remember where I got it done at but I was referred ... read more

I think everyone who is into body modifications needs at least one abnormal piercing, tattoo, etc. I myself have had a few of these more uncommon piercings, although none of them lasted for a long time. So, for a little background information on my piercings. I have the standard double lobes, the second hole having closed up a while ago. Currently, my first hole has been stretched to a 0, going for a 00 soon. A while back I pierced my right nostril myself, and that wasn't one of my more bright ideas. Then came my first unique piercing; my ... read more

It all started about 3 weeks ago when I decided that I wanted another piercing, and that I wanted to get my left nipple re-pierced after it had migrated out a year ago, for my birthday. I called around to a few friends and no one was able to go with me that day, so I actually planned it out with a friend to go on a Saturday morning. I've had several other piercings before this one but this was the first one that wasn't somewhere I thought I could clean easily and just not worry about. Nonetheless I gathered ... read more

This my experience of getting my tongue pierced. I'll skip all of the details about how long I waited before getting it, and why I wanted it etc. Suffice it to say, it took me a long while to take the plunge. The day arrived in July where I felt it was now or never. After a big lunch, I made my way to Perçage Esthétique in Montreal. Most of my piercings were done there, I really feel comfortable and in safe hands with them. The studio is always clean, the staff is nice and friendly and they really know ... read more

Well I'd always thought body piercings were horrible. Two of my friends had gone and gotten their tongues pierced at the age of 12 and I thought it was ridiculous. They came into school the next day and showed everyone and I immediately fell in love. I knew there would be no way that I'd be able to get it done even if I begged and pleaded as my dad is very old fashioned. I decided to leave it a while but in the time I left it I did much research on whether I'd be able to get it ... read more
